Bio
Recruited from Old Melburnians in the amateur association, Peter McLean was a determined utility whose career was bookended by unique premiership success. He broke into the Melbourne lineup in 1964 and was named as the 19th man for the Grand Final victory over Collingwood, though he remained on the bench for the entire match. Seeking greater opportunity and following his former captain Ron Barassi, McLean crossed to Carlton in 1966 where he became a fixture on the half-back flank, valued for his contest and work rate rather than elite skill. His career concluded with a twist of fate in 1968; playing his final league game in the Grand Final against Essendon, he came off the bench to help the Blues secure the flag. This earned McLean the rare distinction of being a premiership player in both his first and last seasons, and he later served the club as chairman of selectors.
